Polysilicon prices slightly slid amid thin trading in overseas market. In China, the prices stagnated due to different outlook interpretations from suppliers and buyers. Suppliers intend to raise the price quotes along with multi-crystalline wafers, assuming demand strength would be better than expected in the coming quarter. However, buyers are more pessimistic about future demand and therefore were more conservative at the procurements. Moreover, as major buyers have enough inventories for the moment, they take a wait-and-see attitude. Overseas demand remains weak as wafer producers are holding a low production utilization rate. Although buyers propose lower prices quote, few deals are signed, so the prices only have a moderate modification.

Polysilicon prices slipped amid the faltering demand, as the procurement of polysilicon buyers has been slowing down. Moreover, as Chinese polysilicon suppliers currently operate in full production, there has been a growing concern among the supply glut in July. The pessimistic sentiment reflected on the drop of polysilicon prices in China, as Chinese polysilicon suppliers stepped back to comply with price discounts. In overseas market, as the productivity of downstream wafer suppliers was restrained and showed no sign of recovery, major suppliers shifted more of their products to China to prevent worsening glut in overseas markets. However, such attempts did not ease the pressure of downward price trend as the prices in overseas extended the drop this week.
